[00:08] ---
    Well, I'll be going now, Ayumi.
[01:48] ---
    Episode 8
    Encounter
[01:55] ---
    Oh, Otosaka, welcome back!
[01:58] ---
    I welcome you back.
[01:59] ---
    Yeah. Sorry it's been so—
[02:03] ---
    Our Yusarin...
[02:04] ---
    Just because he's a bit handsome...
[02:05] ---
    I want her to welcome me back, too...
[02:07] ---
    It's nothing that you
    need to apologize about.
[02:10] ---
    That's right!
[02:11] ---
    But now, we have all of the student council
    back together again.
[02:16] ---
    That is why I decided
    that I'll stick it out with you,
[02:20] ---
    until you have risen back up to normal.
[02:22] ---
    Then, to celebrate your return...
[02:24] ---
    I give you, Otosaka, this magic spell!
[02:27] ---
    I-It can't be...
[02:30] ---
    It's all right! Forget about the results!
[02:36] ---
    The magic spell of being all right!
[02:38] ---
    There it is! The memorable
    Yusarin's magic spell series, #1!
[02:44] ---
    The magic spell of being all right!
[02:44] ---
    Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin!
[02:47] ---
    On the first day she appeared on Move-Asa,
    this infamous magic spell idea
[02:51] ---
    completely destroyed
    the fortune-telling segment!
[02:53] ---
    Such a turn-off!
[02:54] ---
    Hey, Yusarin, good morning!
    I reserved your new single Hatsunetsu Days!
[02:59] ---
    Yeah, me too!
[03:00] ---
    Me, too! Me, too!
[03:03] ---
    Myself as well!
[03:05] ---
    This cheerfulness that is even annoying...
    I'm so thankful of it.
[03:10] ---
    I think I can spend everyday life
    like I had always done.
[03:19] ---
    Actually, I have...
[03:22] ---
    The music video that comes with the first press
    of my new single Hatsunetsu Days!
[03:26] ---
    I wanna see it!
[03:27] ---
    Such a turn-off!
[03:31] ---
    I'll head over to the cafeteria ahead of you.
[03:33] ---
    Yeah...
[03:35] ---
    This again?
[03:39] ---
    I've been waiting for you. Here you go.
[03:43] ---
    So this is a welcome back gift
    in your own way?
[03:47] ---
    There isn't much meaning to it.
[03:49] ---
    I just wanted to eat this limited dish
    for the first time in a while.
[03:53] ---
    He's obviously being considerate of me.
[03:56] ---
    But for now, I'll indulge 
    in his friendliness.
[03:59] ---
    I'm happy I can eat this again. Thanks.
[04:03] ---
    Time to eat!
[04:07] ---
    It really is tasty after all.
[04:08] ---
    Right. No matter how many times you eat this,
    you don't get sick of eating it.
[04:14] ---
    Time to gather up. Let's
    hurry up and eat this.
[04:17] ---
    That guy is going to show up again?
[04:22] ---
    You guys are so slow...
    what were your zodiac signs again?
[04:25] ---
    You always are too sudden.
[04:28] ---
    Well, now that everyone is here, I guess we'll start
    by watching Kurobane's music video...
[04:33] ---
    That embarrasses me so much!
[04:36] ---
    All right!
[04:38] ---
    To be able to watch it before anyone else!
[04:42] ---
    You've got one rabid fan here,
    so it's all right even if it's a horrible video.
[05:04] ---
    I can do it! Once me there you!
[05:10] ---
    I can't do it! Not the side there you!
[05:13] ---
    A side glance indicates prone to illness
[05:16] ---
    I can do it! Once me there you!
[05:19] ---
    Many likes and dislikes
[05:22] ---
    I can't do it! Not the side there you!
[05:25] ---
    Faltering home and then all alone
[05:31] ---
    The worst feverish Friday!
[05:41] ---
    Even if I'm alone I can become strong
[05:47] ---
    The days where I thought
    that are becoming more distant
[05:53] ---
    Where are you right now?
[05:59] ---
    My throat is completely parched
[06:05] ---
    And my voice doesn't reach
[06:11] ---
    I can do it! Once me there you!
[06:17] ---
    I can't do it! Not the side there you!
[06:20] ---
    Where am I headed to?
[06:23] ---
    I can do it! Once me there you!
[06:26] ---
    I don't know anything
[06:29] ---
    I can't do it! Not the side there you!
[06:36] ---
    Thank you for listening!
[06:39] ---
    Come on, give her some kind of feedback.
[06:46] ---
    Hey!
[06:47] ---
    Hmm, it's pretty good.
[06:50] ---
    To be complimented by Tomori...
    Yusarin is so happy!
[06:53] ---
    Oh, I'm going to dock points
    because you just called yourself Yusarin.
[06:58] ---
    Within your mind, Tomori,
    around how many points do I have..?
[07:03] ---
    10 points for the singing, 20 points for the song,
    20 points for the costume, 30 points for editing.
[07:08] ---
    And -51 points for the
    singer being so pathetic.
[07:11] ---
    Let's see...
[07:12] ---
    Which means...
[07:14] ---
    29 points.
[07:16] ---
    That's a failing score!
[07:17] ---
    Can you reevaluate
    based on just the music video?
[07:21] ---
    80 points.
[07:23] ---
    Good for you!
[07:24] ---
    All right! Yusarin is so happy!
[07:27] ---
    And now it's down to 19 points!
[07:30] ---
    Yusa is totally looking dumb right now
    because of that!
[07:33] ---
    Well, it's not like I'm your fan or anything,
    so as a business, I believe it's a perfect 100.
[07:40] ---
    That's pretty unusual for you.
[07:41] ---
    All right! I'm so happy!
[07:43] ---
    You did it, Yusarin!
[07:45] ---
    - Yusarin is so happy!
    - For now, I'd like to watch it again!
[07:47] ---
    The next time is the last time!
[07:54] ---
    In any case, he's late...
[07:57] ---
    He's not coming today.
[07:59] ---
    Then, why did you gather us?
[08:01] ---
    Well, actually....
[08:05] ---
    Voila!
[08:06] ---
    Let's see... these are
    tickets for a ZHIEND gig.
[08:10] ---
    And, it's for tomorrow...
[08:12] ---
    ZHIEND?
[08:14] ---
    Yusa, you didn't know about them?
    It's the rock band that Tomori loves.
[08:18] ---
    It's not rock! It's post-rock!
[08:21] ---
    Post-rock?
[08:23] ---
    Look it up on Wikipedia.
SIGN    Post-rock is a type of rock music. It has rhythms, chords, melodies, and chord progressions that aren't in traditional rock.
[08:24] ---
    Now I understand it even less...
[08:26] ---
    That doesn't matter at all.
[08:29] ---
    Right here, I have two
    ticket for ZHIEND's gig.
[08:32] ---
    The problem is, what should I do with them?
[08:36] ---
    I'm not comprehending the meaning of this...
[08:38] ---
    She means, one person gets to go with her.
[08:42] ---
    I see. But I don't know about
    that something-rock...
[08:49] ---
    Their reviews and popularity overseas
    are super-high, too...
[08:52] ---
    If your song was a perfect score at 100 points,
    ZHIEND would score a million points.
[08:57] ---
    To think there was a score
    above a perfect score!
[08:59] ---
    So, do I have any volunteers?
[09:05] ---
    I don't have much interest, either.
    So, Otosaka, how about it?
[09:10] ---
    Me?
[09:10] ---
    Sounds good.
    How about you go together with Tomori?
[09:13] ---
    Wait. Hold it.
    What's with deciding it by process of elimination?
[09:17] ---
    What about Misa?
    I haven't heard Misa's opinion yet!
[09:19] ---
    I'll go if I can listen to
    a super-fast two-bass at BPM260.
[09:23] ---
    You won't get a super-fast two-bass
    at BPM260 so please refrain yourself.
[09:28] ---
    So, that means it's been decided
    that Otosaka is going.
[09:32] ---
    It's all right at a time like this?
[09:34] ---
    Isn't it good every so often?
[09:37] ---
    People do need breathers.
[09:42] ---
    All right. I'll plan on going.
[09:52] ---
    Excuse me.
[09:53] ---
    Huh?
[09:55] ---
    She's blind...
[09:59] ---
    Why avoid me? Shit!
[10:06] ---
    What was that just now...
[10:09] ---
    Can it be..?
[10:12] ---
    Let's see... How... what was it?
[10:16] ---
    You're going to let me eat Modern-yaki?
[10:20] ---
    You're fine with Japanese?
[10:22] ---
    I'm talkin' about Modern-yaki.
    Mo-der-n-ya-ki.
[10:26] ---
    Modern-yaki?
[10:28] ---
    You too? Nobody knows.
    I'm in Japan, why the hell is this!
[10:32] ---
    Jesus!
[10:34] ---
    Aren't you talking about
    okonomiyaki with noodles in it?
[10:38] ---
    Yes! That's right, noodles!
    Where can I eat some?
[10:41] ---
    If you don't mind it being Hiroshima-yaki,
    they have it at any normal okonomiyaki place.
[10:45] ---
    Does it have noodles in it?
[10:46] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[10:48] ---
    By all means, take me there.
[10:49] ---
    Fine! I get it!
[10:51] ---
    Welcome!
[10:53] ---
    One Hiroshima-yaki, please.
[10:54] ---
    And a medium draft beer!
[10:55] ---
    Got it!
[10:58] ---
    Let's see... I'll have some oolong tea...
[11:00] ---
    Got it!
[11:02] ---
    Oh, no, make that two
    Hiroshima-yakis , please!
[11:04] ---
    Got it!
[11:06] ---
    Even if I go home, nobody is going
    to have dinner ready for me anymore...
[11:12] ---
    I have to get used to this lifestyle soon...
[11:23] ---
    Man, that hits the spot!
[11:25] ---
    You want to cook it yourselves?
[11:26] ---
    Oh no, she's blind, so please cook it for us?
[11:30] ---
    Got it!
[11:32] ---
    Wait, huh? She's blind?
[11:34] ---
    Can it be that you...
[11:36] ---
    Hey there! I'm Sala Shane,
    the vocalist for ZHIEND!
[11:41] ---
    Just as I thought!
[11:42] ---
    I-I can't believe Sala dropped by
    such a filthy little okonomiyaki place like this!
[11:47] ---
    Oh, I'll be going to the gig tomorrow!
    A-And, can I get an autograph on a signboard?
[11:51] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[11:54] ---
    I'm surprised she can draw that
    without being able to see...
[11:56] ---
    Here.
[11:56] ---
    Thank you so much!
[11:58] ---
    And here you go! Please eat up!
[12:07] ---
    Is there a problem?
[12:10] ---
    The pancake part is really thin!
[12:11] ---
    Well, it's not a Modern-yaki,
    so there will be differences.
[12:15] ---
    Right. But it's still tasty!
    Nothing less from Japan!
[12:20] ---
    Thank you very much!
    I'm looking forward to your gig!
[12:25] ---
    I'm sorry I made you pay for that...
[12:28] ---
    By the way.
[12:30] ---
    Did something bad happen to you recently?
[12:34] ---
    I can tell from how you breathe
    and how your voice sounds.
[12:37] ---
    You've been emitting despair nonstop.
[12:41] ---
    That's... well...
[12:43] ---
    Did you lose someone close to you
    or something?
[12:48] ---
    You're amazing... that's exactly it.
[12:52] ---
    If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?
[13:01] ---
    Just the other day,
    I lost my little sister in an accident.
[13:05] ---
    Oh my God!
[13:07] ---
    You've been this kind to me.
[13:09] ---
    At least let me
    put up some smoke for that little sister.
[13:12] ---
    Smoke?
[13:14] ---
    By that, do you mean some incense?
[13:15] ---
    Right! That!
[13:16] ---
    No, no, you don't have to go that far...
[13:17] ---
    No, I'd like you to allow me to! Please!
[13:20] ---
    All right! I get it! So
    please lift your head!
[13:29] ---
    Hey... I have one favor to ask you.
[13:33] ---
    There's someone I'd like you to meet.
[13:36] ---
    She has a sibling that loves your band.
[13:41] ---
    Sounds like that person
    isn't an ordinary fan.
[13:45] ---
    You're correct. Hold on just a second.
[13:50] ---
    Come to think,
    this is the first time I'm calling her...
[13:57] ---
    Yes, Tomori here.
[13:58] ---
    Oh, um... it's me, Otosaka.
[14:01] ---
    Oh, it's you. This is unusual.
    Is something wrong?
[14:05] ---
    Okay. I don't want you
    to be surprised by this.
[14:08] ---
    But I'm here together with
    the vocalist of ZHIEND right now.
[14:12] ---
    Yeah...
[14:13] ---
    You're not surprised? You don't believe me?
[14:15] ---
    No, I believe you. There's no merit for you
    to tell a lie like that.
[14:20] ---
    So, what do you want?
[14:22] ---
    You can meet her, you know?
[14:24] ---
    What would I do by meeting her?
[14:26] ---
    You're kidding me!
    You can talk to her, and actually I—
[14:29] ---
    Even if I could meet her,
    I wouldn't go out of my way to meet her.
[14:31] ---
    I love the music and performance of ZHIEND,
[14:34] ---
    so I just want to listen to their CDs
    and watch their gigs. That's all there is to it.
[14:40] ---
    And is that all you called for?
    I'm going to hang up.
[14:43] ---
    Oh no... that's not it!
[14:45] ---
    You're beating around the bush... what is it?
[14:49] ---
    Sorry to make you wait, they're not close by.
[14:53] ---
    When do you have to be back by?
[14:55] ---
    Time isn't something to consider.
    It's fine, you can take me anywhere.
[15:01] ---
    At this point, what's important to you
    is already just as important to me.
[15:07] ---
    But your gig is tomorrow...
    is it really all right?
[15:12] ---
    The band members and our producer
    will make do somehow.
[15:15] ---
    All right. That helps a lot.
[15:21] ---
    I have to tell her I don't need dinner...
[15:24] ---
    Dammit, I did it again. 
    She's no longer here...
[15:29] ---
    There you go with another heavy sigh.
[15:33] ---
    Did you just remind yourself
    of your little sister?
[15:38] ---
    You really do see through everything.
[15:46] ---
    I'm hungry.
[15:47] ---
    You just ate moments ago!
[15:50] ---
    That was lunch that we
    had. Next up is dinner.
[15:54] ---
    What do you want to eat?
[15:56] ---
    When you go on train rides of course it would
[15:57] ---
    be a soba place that you eat standing up!
[16:01] ---
    Oh my God! Croquet soba?
    This menu item is way too amazing!
[16:09] ---
    A miraculous chemistry! I gotta pay my respect
    to whoever came up with this!
[16:14] ---
    Good for you!
[16:18] ---
    Hey, can I ask you one thing?
[16:20] ---
    Of course you can.
[16:22] ---
    I'm sorry this is a delicate question...
    but those eyes... are they completely blind?
[16:28] ---
    I can see absolutely nothing.
[16:29] ---
    The fact that you can write autographs
    means that you weren't born blind, right?
[16:34] ---
    Yeah. But this is repentance for me.
[16:37] ---
    Repentance?
[16:38] ---
    I guess it's like atonement for my sins.
[16:43] ---
    Have you ever thought about life?
[16:45] ---
    Well, that was sudden.
[16:48] ---
    Life is something you live only once, right?
[16:51] ---
    Of course.
[16:52] ---
    I had dreamed of standing on stage
    as the front-man for a band.
[16:58] ---
    But my life was already beyond hope
    before I knew it,
[17:02] ---
    and I couldn't grant myself that dream.
[17:06] ---
    I was pitiful at both singing
    and playing a guitar,
[17:08] ---
    while on TV, people my age
    were showered with praise from their songs.
[17:13] ---
    I resented God.
[17:14] ---
    But, that's exactly what you are now.
[17:17] ---
    That's because I cheated.
[17:20] ---
    Cheated?
[17:21] ---
    I cheated just for my own greed, even.
[17:25] ---
    There was a time
    when I was popular in Japan, too.
[17:28] ---
    A social phenomenon,
    a person of the times, that kind of success.
[17:33] ---
    Immense amount of money moved.
    How the people around you look at you change.
[17:37] ---
    Of course, for the worse.
[17:39] ---
    In the end, you end up troubling your family.
[17:42] ---
    My little brother got kidnapped once
    for ransom.
[17:46] ---
    So that's why I ended
    everything of that sort.
[17:49] ---
    As a result, I decided I wanted to be
    the front-man for a really dull band.
[17:53] ---
    Finally, I bartered my eyesight away,
    and that's the end.
[17:59] ---
    To whom?
[18:00] ---
    To God, of course.
[18:03] ---
    Well, I'm sure
    you don't quite understand it right now.
[18:06] ---
    But, if such a day ever comes for you...
[18:11] ---
    Make sure to handle it well.
[18:14] ---
    I can see where we're headed to,
    but I need you to walk just a little more.
[18:18] ---
    Sure.
[18:20] ---
    I'm so sorry to drag you out
    to somewhere so far away.
[18:24] ---
    Oh, do you realize this?
    You are a really kind person right now.
[18:30] ---
    You weren't like that in the past, were you?
[18:33] ---
    I'm not self-aware of it,
    but you're probably right...
[18:36] ---
    I'm sure you've met good people.
[18:43] ---
    If that's the case,
    I can't think of anyone other than Tomori.
[18:47] ---
    So she influenced me?
[18:50] ---
    You're beating around the bush... what is it?
[18:53] ---
    I want your big brother to meet this person.
[18:56] ---
    Why?
[18:57] ---
    Your big brother has been a ZHIEND fan
    for a long time, right?
[19:01] ---
    Yes.
[19:02] ---
    Something might happen as a result
    of him meeting the band's vocalist.
[19:07] ---
    What would happen?
[19:08] ---
    For instance... he might become sane again...
[19:11] ---
    That's too good to be true.
    That'd never happen.
[19:13] ---
    But, I want to bet that it would!
[19:18] ---
    The possibility is not zero.
    So, please go on ahead.
[19:23] ---
    I'm glad...
[19:24] ---
    But why do you care so much
    about my big brother?
[19:27] ---
    Well, that's...
[19:29] ---
    Come to think, she's right.
[19:32] ---
    I'm more of a person that has knocked down others for my sake...*
[19:35] ---
    Is something wrong?
[19:38] ---
    It's just a whim...
[19:40] ---
    Well, how to put it... thank you very much.
[19:44] ---
    Then, can you relay to the hospital
    that Sala and I are going to visit?
[19:49] ---
    Sure. Roger that.
[19:53] ---
    I don't know what condition he's in right now.
[19:56] ---
    
    Please have your heart ready for this.
[19:58] ---
    Yeah. I can feel how heavy the situation is
    just from your voice.
[20:09] ---
    The painkillers have worn off again!
[20:11] ---
    This is a very strange feeling...
    Hey, what is that person doing right now?
[20:18] ---
    He's supposedly composing.
[20:20] ---
    I see. This is a lot heavier than I expected.
[20:24] ---
    In the past, he looked up to your band,
[20:26] ---
    and he was about to debut
    from a major record label as a guitarist.
[20:31] ---
    I see...
[20:35] ---
    Hey!
[20:42] ---
    Looking up high
[20:47] ---
    Found a steel tower
[20:52] ---
    Wondering how I would feel
[20:58] ---
    If I fall down
[21:03] ---
    Was it a dream
[21:08] ---
    I saw deep red
[21:14] ---
    Chasing for what's far ahead
[21:20] ---
    Always yearning
[21:22] ---
    Don't know why but the beauty
[21:27] ---
    I really want
[21:30] ---
    May seem to be
[21:33] ---
    Awkward to someone's eyes
[21:42] ---
    Kazuki Tomori, can you tell who I am?
[21:46] ---
    Do you remember about your little sister Nao?
[21:51] ---
    Na...o...
[21:54] ---
    That's right, Nao!
[21:57] ---
    Nao....
[22:00] ---
    I'm glad.
[22:01] ---
    Seems like some sort of
    miracle just happened?
[22:05] ---
    Yeah. Your song was able to wake him up.
[22:09] ---
    You seem happy from the bottom of your heart.
[22:12] ---
    That makes me just as happy.
[22:14] ---
    Yeah...
[22:16] ---
    Thanks.
[22:20] ---
    I guess you moved one step forward?
[22:23] ---
    Yeah, you could say that.
[22:26] ---
    I'm glad I was able to spend
    a very fruitful day today.
[22:30] ---
    By the way,
    I'm planning on going to your gig tomorrow.
[22:33] ---
    Oh? Then I'll sing while keeping in mind
    that you're out there in the audience.
[22:39] ---
    And the person you care about
    will be there too, right?
[22:43] ---
    For her sake as well.
[22:45] ---
    Yeah, please do...
[22:48] ---
    So in the end... Tomori,
    you were the one that changed me...
[23:03] ---
    Hello, Otosaka here.
[23:05] ---
    It's me, Tomori.
[23:07] ---
    You want to hear what happened?
[23:10] ---
    I've already heard.
    I'm standing outside the hospital right now.
[23:14] ---
    So we passed each other?
[23:16] ---
    Yes. I received notice from the nurses,
    and rushed over.
[23:21] ---
    He recognized me, too.
[23:24] ---
    It was the first time in a while
    that I saw my big brother like that...
[23:27] ---
    That's good.
[23:28] ---
    Yes. Your decision was a wonderful one.
    So, I wanted to give you my thanks.
[23:36] ---
    Thank you very much.
[23:38] ---
    Yeah.
[23:39] ---
    So, I'll see you again tomorrow.
    You haven't forgotten about the gig, have you?
[23:44] ---
    Of course.
[23:53] ---
    It's her gig tomorrow...
[23:55] ---
    Why does it feel so nostalgic?
